Channel Key has released new findings from its ongoing commercial benchmark research, indicating that some of Amazon's largest category sellers still have significant gaps on their product pages.
This study evaluated the listing of categories such as air fryers, robotic vacuum cleaners, cowhide chew toys, and HEPA air purifiers on Amazon. The related products collectively represented an estimated revenue of over $550 million in the past 12 months. The results show that none of the listing met the standards for a “strong, well-built” product page, indicating that even some of Amazon’s largest sellers have gaps in conversion rates.
Channel Key indicates that this research utilized Surface, which is the product page intelligence module within its proprietary business intelligence system Via. Surface evaluated listing based on a set of eight uniform criteria, covering images, titles, key points, keywords, descriptions, A+ content, brand stories, and social proof.
Among the four categories, the relationship between sales ranking and page quality is not consistent:
- Air fryer: The quality of the product page has almost no correlation with revenue rankings.
- Robot vacuum cleaners: A higher sales ranking does not always correspond to a stronger product page.
- Cowhide bite glue: The listing products with better sales often have weaker product pages.
- HEPA Air purifiers: There is a strong correlation between page quality and sales rankings. However, even so, the best-performing listing still falls below the benchmark for "well-built" product pages.
Channel Key indicates that within these four categories, a leading commercial position is not a reliable indicator of a stronger product page.
Channel Key Executive Chairman Dan Brownsher said, "Most brands believe that if they are leading in sales, then their pages must be effective. What we observe is that a leading market position can cover up many weaknesses in terms of content. Even in categories where sales rankings and page quality are relatively consistent, the best pages still fall short of our benchmarks for creating a good listing. This provides an opportunity for competitors who can create a stronger business experience, rather than simply increasing media investment."
Channel Key indicates that the company has developed Via based on its experience in managing business strategies and executions across major retail channels and direct-to-consumer channels. The Channel Key team uses Via in their client work, and brand owners can also directly utilize Surface to benchmark their product pages against the same set of eight standards.
Channel Key The Chief Executive Officer Adam Brown said: "Via was initially created to enable our own team to do better in the work that was already underway. Surface It allows us to directly pass this intelligence on to the brand owners. The internal team can also benefit from the same framework we use to evaluate page quality, identify opportunities, and determine priorities."
